About Claudia
Claudia focuses on common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She also helps people coping with life changes, grief, self-esteem issues, and intimacy-related worries. Career stress and compassion fatigue are other areas she supports people through.
Her approach mixes several well-known methods to match each person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to work on thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on Client-Centered and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas to build acceptance, emotional skills, and clearer communication.
In the first sessions she listens for what feels most urgent and practical. Then she and the client set simple goals and try small changes that fit daily life. Conversations focus on what the client wants to try next rather than long lectures.
Claudia has six years of clinical experience as a licensed professional counselor. She aims to help people feel seen and capable of making real shifts. To begin, clients choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How her approaches translate to online work
Claudia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action even with uncomfortable feelings, which can help when facing midlife transitions or big decisions. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers practical steps to reduce anxiety and lift mood.She also brings a Client-Centered stance, which means she listens closely and follows the client’s pace. Together the client and therapist decide which approach feels most useful. Finding the right method is collaborative and may shift as goals change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also gives flexibility for sessions in either English or Spanish to match the client’s comfort and needs.
